OF ALL the numerous bills introduced in
Congress yesterday the best and wisest was
that of Mr.. Butterworth, for full reciprocity
between the United States and the Do
minion of Canada. A reciprocity treaty
with Canada, by which trade with that
country would be as free as it is between
any two of the States of the Union. would
greatly increase that trade, and be of i'm
mense advantage to the people of this coun
try and similar results would follow SINH

HELPING NEGRO SCHOOLS.
The Slater Fund-Meeting of the Trus
tees at Old Point Comfort.

The Slater Fund-Meeting of the Trus-
tees at Old Point Comfort.
FORT MONROE, VA, May 1.-THE
annual meeting of the Trustees of the
Slater Fund for tie promotion of euuca-
ton among the freedmen was held at
the Hygeia Hotel, Old Point Comfort,
to-day. The President of the Board
Hon. r. b. Hayes, of Ohio, was in the
chair. The other members prest mt were
Senator Colquit, of Georgia !; Rev. DIR.
Boyce, of Kentucky; Messrs w. E.
Dodge and John a. Stewart of New York
ID. e.. Gilman, of Michigan and w. A.
Slater, of Connecticut. From the
report of the General Agent, DIR. Hay
good, of Georgia, it Oppears that S4O,-
900 has been disbursed during the past
year from the income of the fund, an ad-
vance of $40, 900 upon the disbursements
of the year before. His report, which is
printed, contains large amount of sta
tistical information in regard to the pro-
gress of the schools which have received
the Slater aid. Every institution thus
helped, must in addition to other insit-
tutions, provide industrial training.
1t is now manifest that this condition,
which was thought questionable at first,
now meets with almost unanimous ap-
probation. Forty-two schools, most of
them training schools for teachers, have
been aided during the year, in sums vary
ing from $500 to $4,000.
The report of the treasurer shows that
the original capital of the fund, 81 900
900, has been slightly augmented and its
securities are we'll invested. The session
of the board was devoted to the consid-
Grafton of the wants of the various
schools receiving aid, and an aggregate
allowance of $3.50 was made for the
year 1SS1-S.
DIR. Haygood assured the board that
| there are many signs of an increasing
interest at the South in the problem OF
negro education and that wise methods
of procedure have been promoted by the
agency of the Slater fund. During the
year he has travelled $4,000 miles and
delivered over 200 addresses and ser
mons, and besides, collected a vast
amount of information by correspond
ence, circulars and personal interviews.

Requests for suspension of the fourth
section came entirely from the railroad
corporations which it was the in
tention of Congress to cnrb in
the interest of the people. One
grant of such a claim would be a prece-
dent for further demand and the law
itself, which was reasonable, was clear
and fair, would be converted into a
measure of oppression of those whose
rights it was intended to protect.
When Mr.. Cabell had concluded. it
was suggested that his general charges
should be put in a specific form so that
the Commission might deal with them.
The hearing was then closed for to-day.
